Add tomatoes, onion, and garlic to the same oil and cook over high heat until soft and slightly roasted.

Blend the cooked tomatoes, onion, garlic, chili peppers, chicken bouillon, oregano, a small handful of fried tortilla strips, and 1.5 cups of water until smooth.

Pour the blended sauce into a heated pot with a bit of oil and bring to a boil, adding salt to taste if needed.

For toppings, prepare diced avocado, panela cheese, and the crispy tortilla strips.
